Blackness

[Valadius† 0]

((FIRST VERSE))

Looking upon the world,

In all its blackened wonder,

I feel the pulling and the terror,

That may break my world asunder.

 

Looking through a lighted cube,

Gazing at the rich and the self,

I can sense the devil's breath,

And laughter teases me deaf.

 

I hear him laugh and wail with glee,

At these poor mortals' plight,

Presenting the world with chains,

To stop their souls from flight.

 

Tears pour down my cheeks,

Hot reminders of the past,

Ask ask the Lord above,

Why does this torment last?

 

((CHORUS)) 2x

The world is covered in blackness,

Of bile and filth so foul,

I wish I knew how to stop,

The devil's screams so loud!

 

Call to the Lord, my brothers,

Don't let Hell take 'em all,

Go to them who are lost,

In the blackness of the fall!

 

((SECOND VERSE))

We stand upon the brink,

The politicians break the Word,

They stop the light of joy,

For their own twisted hoardes.

 

Awaken my brothers,

Please open your eyes to the rot,

Look to the Lord our Father,

We don't know how long we've got.

 

Make your stand for the righteous,

Raise your hands to the sky,

Feel that warm glow,

For the Lord God on high.

 

But don't forget those who walk,

With the blackness' taint so wrong,

We can't allow the flames of Hell,

To take these souls along!

 

((CHORUS)) 2x

The world is covered in blackness,

Of bile and filth so foul,

I wish I knew how to stop,

The devil's screams so loud!

 

Call to the Lord, my brothers,

Don't let Hell take 'em all,

Go to them who are lost,

In the blackness of the fall!
